I'm feeling a lot better today. Here's my caffeine consumption
4oz coffee am
8oz yerba mate amokay. here's when the problem started- I wanted to hang out with my friend, who has been SO busy at work, so I invite her for coffee. I pulled out the medium size (16 oz cup) intending to get decaf. I only was able to fill the cup up about halfway and the darned coffee tank was EMPTY. then I had to get another 4 oz of full-caff, and topped the rest of the cup up with skim milk.
In retrospect, it was a good thing, because I went to a lecture at 4:30. Small classroom. A Nobel Laureate came and sat down next to me, and started grilling this PhD student about his model and his equations and whatnot. Um, this is going to be ME in 3 mos, when I have to address this same audience. lol. Anyhoo, I was actually following at least 30% of what Dr. Nobel was saying, and the "lecture" ended up lasting over 2 hours, and I didn't get home until after 7pm. ugh.
I realize now that the twitchy twitchy is a direct effect of coffee. It is an option, not a necessity. Sometimes feeling peace in my heart is okay too. It's nice to be able to feel that.
By 9pm I felt calm and collected.
no headaches today.
Tomorrow's goal- more tea, more decaf.
I can do this :)
